But in The Knife of Never Letting Go font becomes incredibly important as a means of conveying the thoughts of the characters, which are being broadcast to everyone in the vicinity. In fact, the only time I really stop to look at it is when books have an ‘about the typeface’ note in them (does anyone know why they put that in?

In punk-era San Francisco, teenagers in mohicans and safety pins take over from the greying hippies begging on street corners by the 2020s, in a postwar baby boom, the quest for the youth market and the ubiquity of mobile technology reaches its logical conclusion, with all pop songs directed at toddlers ("pointers", so called for the ease with which they download songs on their handsets). Ageing, loss and compromise are explored in all their universal predictability and piercing individuality: we're all getting a visit from the goon squad.Īppropriately enough, Jennifer Egan has set her novel in a milieu predicated both on nostalgia and the race for the next big thing: the music business.

"What," he now wonders, "if there is some flaw in my marriage to Anne, some impediment, something displeasing to Almighty God?" Cromwell, who has heard these words before, is ordered to conclude the story of Boleyn, and to do it swiftly. It is at Wolf Hall in 1536 that the king, in Mantel's sequel Bring Up the Bodies, will encounter Jane Seymour, who to her family "has as much use as a blancmange" but to Henry represents a source of future sons. The first mention of the book's title comes as its last words, but we have been in a hall of wolves throughout. Having secured the end of the king's 20-year marriage to Catherine of Aragon, enabled his remarriage to Anne Boleyn, and seen his enemy Sir Thomas More ascend the scaffold, Cromwell plans five days for himself at Wolf Hall, the home of the Seymour family. Secretary to the king, his job was to edit Henry's plots: to erase his queen, cancel his inconvenient daughters and terminate those chapters in the narrative which were getting tedious.
